Title: Special characters on the artist profile page
Post by: TradeWind on November 29, 2024, 02:27:15 PM

Hello Steven,

could you please have a look into this longstanding problem that I posted on the Question section of the forum? I copy my question here:

When I play an artist who has a name with a so called special character, his profile isn't shown on the artist profile page of MB but an error message instead, i.g. when I look for the artist 'Ketil Bjørnstad' on the artist profile it says 'Artist 'Ketil Bjørnstad' is not available on the Itunes Store' and no bio etc. is given, even no normally linked Last.fm infos. As a matter of fact that error message is wrong. The artist (and most of those with special characters causing this MB error) is indeed available on ITunes. This happens with apostrophes as well.

Is there any way to fix this in a future release?

Thank you
Rainer

It still doesn't work if there is a number in the artist's name.
